find should understand "size -100K" aswell as "-size -100k"

[Rory McCann]

Binary package hint: findutils

You can find files below a certain file size in find with the "-size" option. However to specify (say) 100 KB, you need to enter "100k", find does not understand "100K", i.e. an upper case K instead of lower case. I think find should be able to recognise upper and lower case k (ie k and K) for kilobytes in the file size.

Sorry, but that's just an opinion, not a bug.

A small k is the standardized shorthand for 1000. K is Kelvin. M is Mega while m is meter.
